Welcome to the first of what will likely be many episodes of Sacred Symbols+ dedicated to HBO's brand-new, PlayStation-inspired series The Last of Us. Starring Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, the cable series based on Naughty Dog's classic kicks off with a bang, running for nearly an hour and a half and covering the first couple of hours of the 2013 PS3 game. The pilot straddles an interesting line: It's true to the original story, yet its own, completely unique thing, too. It has something to offer newcomers and series fans alike, and it's damn good, too. So let's chat about it, get a season-long dialogue started strong, and follow the light.

I am so excited at the prospect of exposition on the lore. Even the tiniest departure from the game is much appreciated. I am also excited to see how people react to the twisted perspective of Abbey. Gamers are a fickle crowd and the leakage of the second game was a terrible prism to view that story through. This might be a second chance to experience these moral conundrums the way they were intended to be absorbed. Great discussion everyone. This is the most important thing going on in gaming. I am very pleased to put it under the microscope with you all.

Mike Po

Here's hoping for a Micah appearance in future episodes of this review series!

Joe Donnelly

Hey guys great episode. I'm curious if any of you caught the official podcast for this show. It has Neil Druckman, Troy Baker, and Craig Mazin. They talk about the making of the episode and how it compares to the game. Good stuff if you get a chance to listen.

Nicholas Coso

Great episode about a great episode!

Nikitas Gagas

Great discussion. I laughed hysterically for five minutes when Dagan said he jerked off after getting electrocuted. That kinky guy.

I didn’t mind the virus not being spores in the air, because that makes it seem inescapable. You hit an infected person with a wrench and spores infect you when you breathe. Unless they keep the masks on forever. Spores from your clothes would be ever present

Leftovers caught a stray damn. One of the best shows of all time. Season 3, and especially the finale, arguably the best ever. I think you will dig it.

loved the episode. loved the discussion. also the leftovers is one of if not the greatest show ever made.

Cornelius

I don't want to seem negative, I love the last of us. But this was basically a shot for shot recreation of the game. Even the dialogue was the exact same in some parts. I hope they do more to differentiate from the game because otherwise anyone who's played the game won't get much from the show

Loving the adaptation so far. Was pretty confident HBO would knock it out if the park. My comment pertains to the fact that they set the show’s pandemic start ten years earlier in 2003 opposed to 2013 in the game. Part 2 of the game Joel teaches Ellie Pearl Jam’s “Future Days” off of 2013’s Lightning Bolt album. It becomes a integral piece of the narrative with significant meaning for Ellie. Now with the onset in 2003 that particular album would never have existed.(unless maybe PJ survives and continues to make records. Doubtful haha) Now do they just ignore this part entirely? Or maybe switch Future Days with an earlier Pearl Jam song? I’m curious to find out.

Its solid all around but Joel loosing his nerve on the swat member was way too on the nose. We get it, his rage traces back to his encounter when he had Sarah in his arms, was it really essential to show a flashback from a moment we already saw 30 minutes ago?

Andy

How awesome would it be to do a flash back in the show, like in the first episode, but this time it’s in a bar and they are watching the same ABC talk show on a rerun, they pan away from to tv and show Nolan North at the bar and toss in another character from the last of us in that time frame. That would be cool and basically confirm uncharted is in the last of us world.
